US rap star Snoop Dogg is to headline the New Year’s Eve concert at Dubai’s Meydan Racecourse, a source has confirmed.

The event, part of Alchemy Project’s Atelier music series, will be Snoop Dogg’s second appearance in the UAE, following his concert in Abu Dhabi in May 2011 when he raised eyebrows by arriving on stage wearing an Emirati-style khandoura.

A spokesperson confirmed Snoop Dogg will headline the concert and said full details will be announced in a press release later this week.

Alchemy Project’s most recent Atelier music series was staged this weekend at Meydan and included performances by 50 Cent, Nelly, Duffy, Craig David, Ciara, Eva Simons and LMFAO.
